We collaborate with county animal control officers to resolve and escalate cases as necessary and we assist citizen complainants with the process allowing them to remain anonymoius if desired. Most of our cases involve local animals but we do get reports from out of the area and are sometimes asked to help with or consult on situations in other juristrictions.
